America<\/b><\/p>\n

In the United States, the tooth fairy may be involved in a weird transaction: to help kids ease the trauma of losing their tooth, they will be paid by money. But first, they will need to put the tooth under the pillow and go to sleep. When the tooth fairy arrives, they will pay cash in exchange for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

South Africa<\/b><\/p>\n

Unlike people in the U.S, South Africans don\u2019t use pillows to hide their tooth. Instead, they make use of slippers to keep their baby teeth!<\/span><\/p>\n

Asia<\/b><\/p>\n

For Asian countries like India, China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, placing the tooth under a pillow is boring. To level up the practice, they tend to toss those teeth around instead! Picture out kids throwing their lose tooth on the lower jaw above the roof, while the upper jaw teeth on the floor because that\u2019s just exactly what they do.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Glittering Mayans<\/span><\/h2>\n
